The Ace In My Pocket

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were young when the road pulled apart, Two almosts with unfinished hearts. Miles and years, whole lives we'd live, But something inside had more to give. We never quite closed that door, Somehow always wanting more. [Chorus] And oh, love finally came home, No matter how far we'd roamed. Fate wrote the ending we deserved, Every waiting year, every word. The calm I never knew I'd find, A steady love, and it's mine. [Verse 2] You didn't just save this heart of mine, You took my whole world, drew the line. You held my son, my past, my name, Gave me a home right where I came. Peaceful where it used to ache, A love no distance could ever break. [Chorus] And oh, love finally came home, No matter how far we'd roamed. Fate wrote the ending we deserved, Every waiting year, every word. The calm I never knew I'd find, A steady love, and it's mine. [Bridge] You said you'd always be that ace, Tucked in my pocket, my safe place. Through every hand that life would deal, Pete, you're the win that's real. [Verse 3] So happy birthday, love of mine, The one worth waiting all this time. Some second chances arrive so late, But ours was never chance—it's fate. Devoted, grateful, standing here, Forever's finally drawing near. [Chorus] And oh, love finally came home, No matter how far we'd roamed. Fate wrote the ending we deserved, Every waiting year, every word. Pete, you're the calm I'd always find, A steady love, forever mine. [Outro] The ace in my pocket, my forever true, Pete, every heartbeat leads to you.
